Welcome to Barra da Grama, Brasonia

Posted by BMSOUZA on 11 May 2017 in Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil). Last updated on 13 May 2017.

Well, OGF-friends… Looks like I finally finished one city in my countries (Slovech is not finished yet).

Welcome to Barra da Grama, the third most important city of Brasonia.

I set inside the city limits as much buildings as possible. And I created names to (almost) all the streets.

There are still somethings to do, but, at first shot, I am proud, hjehehe!!!

I need creating names to few streets, but I still need creating names to shops, mainly in the old downtown (how can Myrcia create so much good names to shops in her/his country? hehehe). And, the main point to me (but not rendered in any OGF-map), relations to metropolitan bus routes, hahaha

I am always also editing the wiki article, trying to write some thing insteresting about this city I learned to love, and I can say with no doubt, this is one of the OGF-places I would like to live.

Now, maybe, focus in the metropolitan towns. But, maybe, I will start the old plan about re-creating Cariocas country, I dont know yet…

Abraços a todos!

===UPDATE===

Hi, OGF-friends!

I need to read opinions of yours about one thing I am thinking last days.

Looks like Itacolomi is so big to Cariocas Islands. There are viaducts, a lot of urban buses terminals, football (soccer) stadiums, etc. Still there are other “big” cities in the country, like Gragoatá and Piratiba, but the “problem” now is focused in Itacolomi.

Currently I am editing Barra da Grama but my plans to 2017 in OGF are about re-creating Cariocas, my first country here.

So, I would not like to simply delete Itacolomi. I am thinking about “transfer” the map to Luslandia, another country I have but not so well mapped yet.

More exactly to Leopoldina, in capital metropolitan area, but obviously with not so much indigenous names.

And, after this, rebuild Itacolomi, but not the same size, and all the metropolitan towns in the area. And the rest of the country, hehehe…

Would be this a good idea?

Abraços a todos! Bruno Moreira

Hi, friends from OGF!

After a long time away from OGF (since november 2016), I am trying to come back to edits in OGF.

I get married, I had a very good honey moon in Natal, RN (Brasil) - a place where I got nice pictures to use in OGF soon -, and… I was fired. Since then, I did not have time to OGF, exactly because I was looking for a new job.

Well, as “I think” I found a new job - offshore again, but not better than the last one - I consider there is time to edits in Brasonia, Belgravia, Luslandia and Cariocas right now again, hehehe.

Regards to all!!!

Hi, guys!

Everything changes this week. The last one I edit in OGF this month, because next week I will be very busy with wedding and preparatives.

Well, lets go. I created some rural areas out of Slovech province. I could say at least 40% of Novakia`s area is under rural landcover.

But my new focus this week was the Rio dos Gansos (Geese river) Delta. Highly inspired (but not a copy) in italian Po river`s delta. Including the idea of a power plant inside its limits, hehehe.

*This island is almost complete. I still need detailing the harbour facilities and some rural landcover in some few places.

*Maybe this island is the best I could do - but is not complete yet. I can get some realistic rural landcover here, with some kinf of “familiar farms”. I still need creating more landuse in northwestern point, and the buildings in each farmyard, like this one.

*The eastern point of the Delta is far from completion. I will build here some villages, and there is a prison facility but I did not decide yet where exactly I will set it. This rural area still needs one or two aerodromes, and this area could be the best one to building them.

*And here, as everyone can imagine, will set a town (Nova Blumenau), but I still did not imagine how will be its street grid. The only things decided are:

1.More rural areas in south and west parts of the island;

2.The town will be around 40.000 inhabitants.

Best regards to all!!

As railways are not a usual thing to me (there is VLT in Rio de Janeiro city since this year, but I did not go there yet), I have some doubts about using this tag in my maps.

I am imagining a rail route between Slovech - or Trindade - and Tarugo or Nova Baltimore. Because Slovech is the capital, and Tarugo I will build some important naval and heavy industries. If I create this route, it can be extended to Nova Baltimore, capital of province, just few kilometeres south to Tarugo.

First doubt: Could I use railway=light_rail?? I read in OSM Wiki light rail is a urban trnasport… this way, it would not be the best railway between these cities…

Second doubt: The terminus in Slovech area.

  • can be in Trindade, a town I will re-map when I finish detailing Slovech. I prefer this idea, but “the passengers” would need to use another transportation (tram and buses) to follow to Slovech

  • can be in Sant Theo, east Slovech. In fact, here there is integration to other transportations, as buses and trams, and here is some kind of “metropolitan terminus” - the bus routes from Trindade will stop here, only one or two will follow to Slovech downtown.

*can be in Slovech downtown… only if I can use tunnels, because seting so many buildings in Slovech, there is no space to new rail stations. Which railway= I can use with tunnels??

For now I am still with a lot of work to do in Slovech detailings, but, as I am also focused about creating correct relations to all my transport routes, I need to think about it too…

I am not spammer, but I woul like to share here one link about some “different” places. Wpuld be possible edit something like these pictures in OGF?? hehehe

The sixth picture I consider so much interesting, and maybe I will try something like that to show relief in some area of my countries.

The seventh is interesting too, but I dont see a way to create “underwater allotments” in OGF, hehehe

The 18th is interesting to me too, but I dont have the intention to do something like this in OGF.

Best regards to all!

Hi, friends!

*There is a thing I can not include in a specific article I am writing currently, but I know it is possible.

I want include more lines inside a column, the righest one, as I do using Paint in the image below: example, by MS Paint

*Other thing I need understand is, how can I define the lenght of a column.

In wiki article to Cariocas league, I would like the images I uploaded are 100%.

Can someone help me in these questions??
